Apocolyptik1 does not have that much rep yet (10+)
I see a lot of people bashing this card on the net, saying the only note-worthy fighter on the card is Rich. Fucking assholes.

Hope you guys have fun watching this one too, I am definetly not missing the next one coming to Texas. I should of went to Houston when I had a chance.

Danny Electiric has been waiting to you use the joke for the past 3 years now. Congrats DE on finally being able to use it.

Apparently this show is going to be on Spike TV like the Manchester show. So I'll take that.

I haven't seen the card but someone told me Forrest Griffin is on there. Him and Rich Franklin would be worth £30 to go see.

Could be because the last one was in manchester, maybe they thought they would get a bigger audience if they moved to another country.

So did my mate. He could have went to UFC with me though so I laughed in his face.

Anyone who goes to any UFC I'm going to is more than welcome to tag along with my lot.

As both he and I alluded to I'm almost certain its because they're completely ignorant to whats going on in Northern Ireland, and likely what has gone on there since the start of the Troubles anyway.

Guess UFC guys aren't as tough as they make out

Lol look at all you bashing UFC fighters, and have no idea why some of them didnt want to go to Ireland. Fuck off. Be happy they are giving your country a go around to begin with.

Ok...

2 people isn't "all of you"

and we are not in any way bashing them.

And I don't think it's up to the fighters which country they give a "go around".

Are you like UFC's Brock Lesnar or something?

Well then what other reasons are there to explain why fighters en masse refuse to go to Belfast?

I'm going to give the UFC fighters the benifit of the doubt and say that they didn't want to go to Belfast because of the big time change which could cause problems when it comes to how the fight if they are jetlagged. The obvious remedy for that would be to show up to Belfast a few days in advance but mixed martial artists are creatures of habit and they probably would rather be at theire usual gym training. If they don't want to go because they think they'd be in danger, that's pretty stupid. Even if Belfast were a warzone they'd protect athletes like crazy and they wouldn't be harmed. I've never been to Belfast or Ireland before so I don't know I'm sure it's a fine city.

As for the card, here are a few reasons to watch...

--Dustin Hazelett is a pretty intresting guy with his submissions and stuff, his match probably won't air but if you like grappling he's intresting.
--Ed Herman versus Scott Smith is going to be a war, hopefully they air this match.
--Eddie "Cro Cop's Punching Bag at UFC 67" Sanchez will show that against mortal MMA fighters he's pretty good.
--See how Jake O'Brien reacts in his first fight after upsetting Heath Herring.
--Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis walking out to his fight in a kilt.
--You get to see Jason "The TUF Killer" MacDonald kill another TUF alumni in Rory Singer.
--Forrest Griffin trying to get back on the winning track.
--Franklin/Okami is going to be a great fight, possibly the best fight of the year to this point.

Jet lagged? This is nonsense. Belfast is a stones throw from Manchester and nobody was jet legged on that show. Neither were they when they did the London show years ago. Are the Americans that fight in Pride jet legged? Thousands of boxers have travelled and not been jet legged. WWE wrestlers fly all over the world on a constant basis. Bullshit arguement there.

In all seriousness, I'd fear for my safety in New York more than I would in Belfast.

Jet lag is a BS excuse, as Rob said Belfast is actually closer to the states than Manchester and London anyway.

Hey I was just saying benifit of the doubt. I don't know what people are thinking or what they want to do. By the way who refused to fight at UFC 72?

I don't know the names for definate but I think Tito Ortiz was one of them. Can't say for sure so I'm not knocking anyone specific yet.

Yknow I would hazard a guess at Manchester actually being more dangerous than Belfast these days now that the troubles are long over

Not defending Tito Ortiz, but I would guess that the reason he wouldn't be on the card is because they wouldn't make him the Main Event, which he thinks he has a right to. Which if it was going to be Ortiz/Evans that would definitly have to head a card with no titles on the line. That and this pretty much any event that doesn't have a title match in it is really a B show, and considering Tito Ortiz is one of the most marketable UFC guys he doesn't belong on the "b show."

But if people don't go because they're afarid, like I said before, they're insane.
